A measure-theoretic characterization of Boolean algebras among orthomodular lattices

Pavel Pták, Sylvia Pulmannová (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate subadditive measures on orthomodular lattices. We show as the main result that an orthomodular lattice has to be distributive (=Boolean) if it possesses a unital set of subadditive probability measures. This result may find an application in the foundation of quantum theories, mathematical logic, or elsewhere.

Borel extensions of Baire measures in ZFC

Menachem Kojman, Henryk Michalewski (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove: 1) Every Baire measure on the Kojman-Shelah Dowker space admits a Borel extension. 2) If the continuum is not real-valued-measurable then every Baire measure on M. E. Rudin's Dowker space admits a Borel extension. Consequently, Balogh's space remains the only candidate to be a ZFC counterexample to the measure extension problem of the three presently known ZFC Dowker spaces.

Can we assign the Borel hulls in a monotone way?

Márton Elekes, András Máthé (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A hull of A ⊆ [0,1] is a set H containing A such that λ*(H) = λ*(A). We investigate all four versions of the following problem. Does there exist a monotone (with respect to inclusion) map that assigns a Borel/ G δ hull to every negligible/measurable subset of [0,1]? Three versions turn out to be independent of ZFC, while in the fourth case we only prove that the nonexistence of a monotone G δ hull operation for all measurable sets is consistent. It remains open whether existence here is also consistent....

Covering locally compact groups by less than 2 ω many translates of a compact nullset

Márton Elekes, Árpád Tóth (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Gruenhage asked if it was possible to cover the real line by less than continuum many translates of a compact nullset. Under the Continuum Hypothesis the answer is obviously negative. Elekes and Stepr mans gave an affirmative answer by showing that if C E K is the well known compact nullset considered first by Erdős and Kakutani then ℝ can be covered by cof() many translates of C E K . As this set has no analogue in more general groups, it was asked by Elekes and Stepr mans whether such a result holds for...

Less than 2 ω many translates of a compact nullset may cover the real line

Márton Elekes, Juris Steprāns (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We answer a question of Darji and Keleti by proving that there exists a compact set C₀ ⊂ ℝ of measure zero such that for every perfect set P ⊂ ℝ there exists x ∈ ℝ such that (C₀+x) ∩ P is uncountable. Using this C₀ we answer a question of Gruenhage by showing that it is consistent with ZFC (as it follows e.g. from c o f ( ) < 2 ω ) that less than 2 ω many translates of a compact set of measure zero can cover ℝ.

Łukasiewicz tribes are absolutely sequentially closed bold algebras

Roman Frič (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that each sequentially continuous (with respect to the pointwise convergence) normed measure on a bold algebra of fuzzy sets (Archimedean M V -algebra) can be uniquely extended to a sequentially continuous measure on the generated Łukasiewicz tribe and, in a natural way, the extension is maximal. We prove that for normed measures on Łukasiewicz tribes monotone (sequential) continuity implies sequential continuity, hence the assumption of sequential continuity is not restrictive. This yields...

Measurable envelopes, Hausdorff measures and Sierpiński sets

Márton Elekes (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We show that the existence of measurable envelopes of all subsets of ℝⁿ with respect to the d-dimensional Hausdorff measure (0 < d < n) is independent of ZFC. We also investigate the consistency of the existence of d -measurable Sierpiński sets.

Measures on Corson compact spaces

Kenneth Kunen, Jan van Mill (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We prove that the statement: "there is a Corson compact space with a non-separable Radon measure" is equivalent to a number of natural statements in set theory.

On some properties of squares of Sierpiński sets

Andrzej Nowik (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We investigate some geometrical properties of squares of special Sierpiński sets. In particular, we prove that (under CH) there exists a Sierpiński set S and a function p: S → S such that the images of the graph of this function under π'(⟨x,y⟩) = x - y and π''(⟨x,y⟩) = x + y are both Lusin sets.

On the extension of measures.

Baltasar Rodríguez-Salinas (2001)

RACSAM

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a totally ordered by extension family (Ω, Σx, μx)x ∈ X of spaces of probability to have a measure μ which is an extension of all the measures μx. As an application we study when a probability measure on Ω has an extension defined on all the subsets of Ω.

Some topological properties of ω -covering sets

Andrzej Nowik (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We prove the following theorems: There exists an ω -covering with the property s 0 . Under c o v ( 𝒩 ) = there exists X such that B o r [ B X is not an ω -covering or X B is not an ω -covering]. Also we characterize the property of being an ω -covering.

The ideal (a) is not G δ generated

Marta Frankowska, Andrzej Nowik (2011)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that the ideal (a) defined by the density topology is not G δ generated. This answers a question of Z. Grande and E. Strońska.

What’s the price of a nonmeasurable set?

Mirko Sardella, Guido Ziliotti (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

In this note, we prove that the countable compactness of { 0 , 1 } together with the Countable Axiom of Choice yields the existence of a nonmeasurable subset of . This is done by providing a family of nonmeasurable subsets of whose intersection with every non-negligible Lebesgue measurable set is still not Lebesgue measurable. We develop this note in three sections: the first presents the main result, the second recalls known results concerning non-Lebesgue measurability and its relations with the Axiom...
